Quote for the week:
‘Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom’ 
Marcel Proust (1871 – 1922)
We have had a very successfulterm and hope that after theChristmas break, all students willreturn in January ready to do theirvery best and get involved in thelife of the school. I expect all Year10 – 13 students who will be sittingexams in January to be wellprepared and I wish them all ‘GoodLuck’. May I take this opportunityof wishing everyone a verypeaceful Christmas and a HappyNew Year!
